Alternative to bare minerals?

Hi all, due to my horrible acne prone skin I am very limited as to what I can use for cover. Bare minerals don't aggregate and provide a reasonable level of coverage. However harder times have hit and I need to find a cheaper option. Anyone found any other good cheaper brands?
Thanking you

I've found a great eBay shop, pure magic minerals. Prefer it to Bare Minerals now!
I've also used Elemental beauty for samples of foundation but didn't like it quite as much, their eyeshadows are gorgeous though.

I've tried Lily Lolo mineral veil and while not quite as good as the Bare Minerals one it's pretty good. You can buy tester size pots of most stuff which is great!

Really pleased to have seen this thread op. I was about to shell out for the new Bare Minerals but I see it has bad reviews for containing talc.

So, I have just ordered some Lily Lolo testers. I can't understand why more companies don't sell testers!
